Practically everyone who does one of our city tours has already heard of Devon House even before we pick them up. They may not know the story of the Mansion (built in 1881 by Jamaica's first black millionaire) but they've certainly heard of the ice cream (deemed the 4th best place in the world to have ice cream by National Geographic). On our tours we usually time it so that we get there before the crowds as this is a spot that is beloved by Kingstonians and the lines for the ice cream can get pretty long. In addition to the mansion (historic) and the ice cream (delicious) on the grounds there are a number of restaurants and shops that are worth visiting. Feeling for some coffee? There's the Devon House Cafe. In the mood for a pizza? There's La Pizzeria. Just want to have a patty? There's the Devon House Bakery. All these locations are set on beautiful grounds on which it is not unusual in the summer to see children racing and playing football.
